The best note: Parallel Twin with Dunstall reverse cone "Decibel" Slip-Ons.

The worst note: Harleys, they sound too much like a Yamaha Road Star. They even sound slow.
(I'm serious, by the way - I just don't like the HD sound)

A well tuned Triumph twin with Dunstall pipes is the sweetest note out there. Extremely deep tone and not loud at all - until you burn the glass out of the muffler. You can even hear a little puff of air with each pulse.

Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.
